I think Christians have good intentions when they want to convert people. They may not come across that way, but true believers want to save souls, not act nasty and pompous.

I don't know...it doesn't bother me when someone tells me that. One of my best friends is an Atheist and others are Muslim and Pagan. My faith is my own and I don't expect anyone to believe, just as they don't expect me not to believe or convert to another religion.

Because most of them live by the misguided notion that they know something that you don't. They claim to "KNOW" God--who or whatever that is--exists, when in fact they don't KNOW anything, they simply BELIEVE God exists. When you say you don't believe in God, you are questioning their belief (which they confuse as fact) and being as arrogant as they are, they don't like having their belief questioned.

I find it very disrespectful when a christian makes it painfully obvious that they disapprove of a persons choices and have to convert them to their way. There way is not necessarily the RIGHT way, no matter how much they may profess to it being. Respect others and through that respect, more will be done then accusing them of being "lost" and "on the wrong path." It actually makes me angry even thinking about it.

true. it would be a shame if that is the case, though. i must admit it is a very entertaining screen name, not to mention offensive, which is always a plus in my book.

A duty of all Christians is to help save souls. Hearing a comment like that is a very painful thing to a devout Christian as it clearly reflects a lost soul. It is also painful because I know Jesus is aware of every thought, hears every spoken word and knows his suffering the agony of the Passion for forgiveness of our sins will still not save many. I find myself many times apologizing to our Saviour for the treatment he still to this day receives from mankind.

Your duty is to mind your own damn business and keep your belief to yourself. If someone is interested in having their soul saved, whatever that means, they'll seek you out.

That's EXACTLY the point!!!

Maybe you're finally getting it? NOBODY "knows" whether or not "God" exists. You don't know that he does, and I don't know that he doesn't.

The only difference is.....I'm smart enough to admit it.

No, you are under some silly notion that anyone who has been "educated in religion" is automatically a believer. That is incorrect.

You people are all the same. Cognitive reasoning and critical thinking is abandoned, and instead you blindly believe in invisible men, turning ribs into girls, talking snakes, and women who get pregnant after the invisible man never had sex with her....

You are gullible, silly, and misguided. But you have every right to be.

Your duty is to practice your religion as you see fit, and leave those of us who want no part of it alone.

My soul doesn't need saving by you or anyone else. If I think it does, I'll find a church.
